Green Scene: California Lettuce

Lettuce is not ranked among the top 2016 food trends according to a survey by the National Restaurant Association but you’ll find it at McDonald’s, in school salad bars as a healthy choice, and a course option or entree at most restaurants. Food trends come and go but lettuce, which has been cultivated for at least 4,500 years and made its way to the United States thanks to Christopher Columbus, remains a Top 6 Crop in California.
